I just filled up my first book and before I throw it out, I wanted to make a list of some of our favorite family recipes from that book.
I'm posting them here in case anyone wants to check them out, but also because I often go to this blog myself when looking for an old recipe (I also keep all my favorite recipes in a binder, but often the laptop is more handy than the binder).
BREAKFAST AND BRUNCH*
1. Baked oatmeal. I got this great recipe from my friend Lynley.
Ingredients:
2 cups rolled oats
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Preparation:
1. Preheat oven to 325F.
2. In a large bowl, mix oats, baking powder, and salt.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, brown sugar, grated apple, and cinnamon. Pour over the dry mixture and stir to combine.

Now to fill up book #2...
* I especially like breakfasts that are make-ahead and portable, things like baked oatmeal squares and mini frittatas, because on school days the kids eat breakfast in the car.
